So Nintendo officially quit console gaming. Switch is a handheld system

Ok then... but if the dock only allows for more power from Tegra, we can still call it handheld with better capability on the dock... any notebook have performance choices and it improves when using poweroutlet.

But each passing new after the reveal seems to suggest less powerfull than expected.

Really? my laptop (not notebook) has several power options but none of them are exclusive to being plugged in to a power outlet.

Either way a notebook is a notebook, which is still a laptop, which is still a PC... If we loose the semantics here, I think what people are really expressing is their disappointment at its suspected specs. But Nintendo didn't  need the Wii to be portable for it to be weak AF. I think it's a weird to debate whether it's X or Y when Switch can clearly function as both.

My laptop still performs better on the power outlet even if both are settled on the same configuration on battery, but that may be confirmation Bias.

I don't quite understand your second point.

Because the counterpoint that notebooks connect to tv, PSP and PSVita (even if needed PSTV or PS4 streaming) connected to tv or got console games to mobility, clearly would negate that only because you connected switch (as handheld perception) to a TV doesn't make it a home console.

I am fine with this and what I wanted Nintendo to do. Unified library and ability to choose to play on my couch or on the go.

Its unified because they abandoned the home console market. I'm not a fan of it.

Yes that is the biggest concern...

I would be a lot happier if they just made a three product line, simple handheld, simple console and switch... all three running the same games on different levels and people choosing which they preffer without paying premium for what they aren't going to use.
